At first he had taken his fate hardly, but Dicky had taunted him and then had suggested that a man whose conscience was clear and convictions good would carry a high head in trouble. Dicky challenged him to prove his libels by probing the business to the bottom, like a true scientist.
When I think of the miserable stories that were raked up against him, the misconstruction of everything he did, or said, or left undone, my own impotent indignation, and my poor brother's senseless rage, and the insulting way in which I was watched, and taunted, and tortured, oh, Nelly! it is agony to write. I did the only thing left to me I gave him up, and prayed for peace.
He was to bear affliction with no friendly consolations around him; but alone! alone in the wrestling of the garden, and amid the cruel mockery. Not upon the peaceful death-bed, but upon the bare and rugged cross, torn by nails, pierced with the spear, crowned with thorns, taunted by the revilings of the multitude, the vinegar and the gall. He must be deserted, and encounter these trials alone.
They were already disheartened, as they believed that we were dead, and they had been daily taunted with this fact by the brigands, who asked them, "what they were going to do now that the Pacha was killed."

If he tries the first course, he is told that the rhyme, though all right for the eye, is wrong for the ear. If he tries the second course, they say that the rhyme, though more or less ninety-nine percent pure for the ear, falls short when tested by the eye. And, when he is driven back on one of the regular, guaranteed rhymes, he is taunted with triteness of phrase.
He's just beat it with a lot of his rotten crowd, Monte Devine and Bettins and True. They're up to something crooked. 'I forgot. Moraga laughed greasily. 'Jim was in the back room there talking to Sanchia! Nice girl, no? he taunted Barbee. 'I'll kill you some day, Moraga, cursed Barbee thickly. Howard turned back to the door. 'I want your horse, Barbee, he said quickly. 'All right?
French and savage runners could have reached them with the news, could have taunted them from the forest, but they would not wish to do so; they seek instead to gather their forces first, to have all the effect of surprise, to take the fort, its garrison and the people as one takes a ripe apple from a tree, just when it is ready to fall."
The king added to his resolution by ill-treatment during the journey, and taunted him as he had often done before, saying, "If my father had treated me so, I would soon have run away; but you have no heart; you are a coward." This added to the prince's resolution. He wrote to Katte at Berlin, repeating to him his plans.
